"Because they have a platform to protect us and do good. Obviously, they're supposed to criticize us; we're basketball players. Even Shaq, when I was dealing with everything going on, I actually messaged him, and he put it out.

"I DM'd him, and I was like, 'Why are you saying this if you don't even know the story?' Because he always wants to say, 'Yo, we're LSU brothers; you're my brother.' All this, that. If you're my LSU brother, you would've reached out by now, and it’s been months since I've been dealing with this.

You ain't reached out once and said like, 'Hey, you ok? Like, what's going on?'" Despite feeling unhappy with O'Neal, Simmons said that he appreciates Jay Williams for talking to him.

It was a rare interview where he explained his side of things and all the rumors about his departure from the Philadelphia 76ers. He also acknowledged that he could have handled the situation better but has learned from it. Both sides appear to be moving on as Simmons looks ready to have a great season with the Nets.

I know what it takes to get to the top, top, top level, and that guy knows what it takes to be great. He's had some personal problems. I don’t like to measure that, so I wish him well and hope that he can come back strong." Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Bhargav × Feedback Thank You!
